| description | The Crouzon syndrome is a genetic disorder which is known as
the brachial arch syndrome. It is an autosomal dominant disorder
which is one of a rare group of syndromes which is characterized
by cranio synostosis or a premature closing of the cranial sutures.
The major features are brachiocephaly, occular proptosis, an under
developed maxilla, mid face hypoplasia, a rare cleft lip or palate,
hypodontia (some teeth missing) and crowding of teeth. Due to
the maxillary hypoplasia, the Crouzon syndrome patients generally
have a considerable permanent underbite and they subsequently
cannot chew by using their incisors. We have presented in this article, a case of the Crouzon syndrome which was seen in a girl who
was aged six years, with similar symptoms and the multidisciplinary
approach which has to be followed in managing the case. |
